Get to Know Me

Nothing in real estate matters more to me than my clients' wellbeing. To protect and promote that wellbeing, I do everything I can to ensure they have the knowledge and resources to make the best possible decisions. I achieve this by thoroughly explaining the home buying or selling process, staying consistently up-to-date on market trends, researching the history and condition of properties, and, most importantly, listening to my clients' goals. I then tailor their home search, offers, and listing strategies to reflect and achieve those goals. Additionally, I am deeply committed to advocating for my clients through detailed and timely communication with all parties, ensuring clarity throughout the entire process.

I take pride in applying my legal experience to the home buying and selling process—whether during negotiations, preparing the multitude of forms required for a transaction, or identifying and mitigating potential issues. I recognize that buying or selling a home is a significant life event, and I strive to ensure my clients feel supported, informed, and confident at every step.

Originally from St. Louis, Missouri, I moved to Tacoma to attend the University of Puget Sound. After graduating, I went on to earn my law degree from Seattle University. I’ve now lived in the Greater Puget Sound region for over 20 years, and I continue to fall more in love with it every year. Whether it's catching unexpected views of Mount Rainier or chasing Orcas around the Sound and spotting them from land (one of my favorite hobbies!), the beauty of this area never gets old.

I pride myself on combining my Midwestern friendliness, deep knowledge of Greater Puget Sound real estate, and legal experience to help my clients buy or sell their homes with confidence.

Education: Seattle University School of Law, University of Puget Sound (Go Loggers!)

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Sarah was incredibly flexible and always available to work with us, even on our very aggressive timeline. She also came up with a winning strategy to help us get our offer accepted in a very competitive market. We wouldn't have our house if Sarah hadn't been our realtor.

— Genevieve H.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

I met with a few realtors before choosing to work with Sarah for the purchase of my first home. In addition to her vast knowledge of the greater Seattle market, Sarah proved to me time and time again that her main priority was my needs, and went above and beyond my expectations to help achieve them. She was able to walk me through the entire process step by step was extremely responsive and answered all ...

— Connor R.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We've bought and sold two houses using Sarah. I'm convinced that we wouldn't own our present home if she hadn't represented us where there were multiple offers (remember those days). If we have any real estate dealings in the future I would call Sarah first.

— Alan G.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Sarah was very helpful, knowledgeable, and honest, which was very important for us when we bought our first house. I strongly recommend her to all of my friends who are looking for a house to buy.

— Buyer

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Sarah guided me through the purchase of my first home. She was incredibly patient and thorough in answering all of my questions and explaining how everything worked! I especially appreciated how she helped me think about potential offers without pressuring me to put one in on a house I didn’t love or to offer more than I was comfortable with. I ended up purchasing a home I absolutely adore without an oun...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We found a property before I had put mine on the Market. We had 1 month to sell my current home. Sarah made everything smooth and easy. She got my place sold and was able to negotiate a contingency for the home we had found. It all worked out and I credit Sarah with making the whole deal happen. I truly believe that without her expertise, the deal would not have gone through.

— Buyer & Seller

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We love Sarah. She knew all the answers to our questions and was very patient with us- again. This is the 2nd time we've worked with Sarah for our home purchase, and this time around she also provided masterful support in selling our townhome- in 5 days, well over asking, we wouldn't change a thing. Here's hoping we're not shopping again anytime soon, but when we do we'll know who to call. Thank you Sarah!

— Nikki C.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Sarah was my agent when I bought my first house. I did not hesitate to call her when I was ready to sell and buy a new place. She is very helpful and gives good, solid, practical advice. First time buying a home? She's great. And, as I did, you'll call her again.

— Buyer | Seller

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Sarah and Lauren were fabulous to work with, we feel incredibly lucky to have found them. Through every moment of the house buying experience we felt like we were in good hands. They provided great advice on what they were seeing in the market, worked so quickly to help us purchase the house we were interested in, and were able to assist us in negotiating the price down. Not only that, but they felt like...

— McKinley J.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

I can't say enough good things. During my home search, Sarah understood exactly what I was looking for from day one and helped me, a first-time homebuyer, navigate the competitive Seattle market and work with the numerous challenges that came with it. As I honed in on my search and my needs, Sarah was there to bounce ideas around and advise me on neighborhoods, improvement projects, and the nuances of th...

— Allie S.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Sarah was unbelievable. She makes the most complicated topics incredibly simple and gives you the tools to make decisions confidently. She doesn’t make decisions for you but instead enables you to make awesome decisions for yourself. I could not recommend Sarah highly enough. I would work with her 1000 times over.

— Daniel V.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Sarah has helped me find houses twice and, while I hope I never have to move again, I'll be reaching out to her again if I need a realtor. I really appreciate her candor and tactfulness when it comes time to negotiate a deal.

— Ryan D.
